Media, Bots, and Mini Apps: Farcaster as a Creative Playground
In this episode of The Optimism Show, Kris Gligoroski is joined by Adrienne and NounishProf, co-creators of GM Farcaster, a flagship onchain media brand, to explore what it really takes to build in public on Web3’s fastest-growing social protocol. Together, they unpack the vision and mechanics behind GM Farcaster’s livestream-first approach, the power of community-driven podcasting, and how custom bots and Farcaster-native mini apps unlock new ways of engaging audiences. This isn’t just a conversation about content—it’s about redefining media itself, using the primitives of onchain coordination, open distribution, and community ownership. They also reflect on Farcaster’s evolution from a dev-centric experiment to a vibrant cultural layer—and how GM Farcaster became a home for real-time storytelling, creator tooling, and public conversation across the Superchain. If you're curious about what’s possible when media meets protocol, this episode is your front-row seat. 🌐 Connect with GM Farcaster Website: gmfarcaster.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GMFarcaster Pods.media: pods.media/gm-farcaster Farcaster: @gmfarcaster Mini App: miniapp.gmfarcaster.com 🧠 Connect with Adrienne & NounishProf on Farcaster @adrienne @nounishprof 🎙️ Connect with Kris Gligoroski Farcaster: @thekris LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thekrispartner Email (collabs/sponsorships): pod@optimism.show ⚠️ Disclaimer This episode is for informational purposes only.

When Your Wallet Needs a Marie Kondo Moment: GM Farcaster ep279
When Your Wallet Needs a Marie Kondo Moment: GM Farcaster ep279 Wednesday, August 20, 2025 From our ChatGPT Intern: The crew kicked things off by realizing they forgot to actually announce the show, detoured into Dan’s Nancy Meyers–worthy summer photos, and fumbled their way through some new soundboard antics. In between the chaos, they managed to cover shiny new Farcaster token pages, wallet upgrades, and even a crypto “Kondo” app for tidying up your digital junk drawer.

Fest FOMO, Poker Drama & Trippy PFPs — A Very Farcaster Friday: GM Farcaster ep273 Friday, August 1, 2025 From our ChatGPT Intern: The hosts of GM Farcaster celebrated Fest season with virtual nostalgia, Blackbird app reviews, and poker stress therapy while lamenting that animated PFPs still haunt Android users like GIF-wielding ghosts. DWR proved once again that he can drop mic-worthy answers in fewer words than most people use to order coffee, while everyone is bidding wildly on digital collectibles that double as life advice: “You must be comfortable with unexpected failures.” Full Show Notes and Links on YouTube Copyright 2025 cc-by GM Farcaster - reuse/remix allowed with attribution and link back to GMFarcaster.com.

Visit creatordao.com/ to learn more! From our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster broadcasted from a backup mom-cave and rolled out a buffet of Farcaster lore, poker invites, and Zora-induced chaos—including Jack Butcher accidentally launching a coin by logging in. Between leaderboard drama, pinball with Warpee, and a cube-holding mini app, it was like attending a DAO-themed Renaissance fair... if the fair had NFTs, creator coins, and a suspicious lackof dragons.

GM Farcaster ep270 Friday, July 25, 2025 with @toadyhawk @betrmint From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s Friday episode of GM Farcaster was a chaotic collectible fever dream powered by spiked coffee and spiritual bidding wars. From technical glitches and mystery notifications to mole auctions nearing $500 and Pugson being rechristened “P-biddy,” the hosts explored the art, absurdity, and emotional rollercoaster of Farcaster’s new collectibles economy—concluding that the real treasure might be the memes (and simps) we found along the way.

GM Farcaster bonus episode: mini app vibe coding with @linda
GM Farcaster bonus episode: mini app vibe coding with @linda From our ChatGPT Intern: In this bonus episode of GM Farcaster, Prof puts on her metaphorical lab coat and bravely enters the world of “vibe coding” under the steady guidance of Linda from Merkle, ultimately birthing a working mini app called Sixteen Blocks using vZero, GitHub, and Vercel—despite thinking V0 was version zero of Cursor. By the end, she not only builds and deploys a colorful Connections-style web game but also earns honorary engineer status (minus the bugs, backend, and terminal trauma), proving that yes, anyone can vibe code—with enough snacks and Linda on speed dial.

GM Farcaster ep234 Wednesday April 9, 2025 with @dwr Dan Romero Farcaster cofounder Thank you @dwr.eth Dan Romero for stopping by GM Farcaster to chat about the latest happenings in the Farcaster ecosystem. Always a great to have you on! Thanks to our premier partners Octant – and be sure to check out Octant’s Degens & Dragons minting now! AND if you catch the mint during the live show, look for our sponsorship and mint for free! From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster welcomes DWR for a power-packed update from his new call booth (decor TBD), as he walks through Farcaster’s Gen Z-coded Twitter strategy, SnapChain scaling goals, and the eternal struggle of explaining what a mini app actually is without sounding like you’ve lost your mind. Between Crypto: The Game flashbacks, mini app dev wishlists, and a deep dive into Snapchat scaling that somehow ends with Mike Tyson, it’s clear the only thing scaling faster than Farcaster is the meme-to-feature pipeline.
